Celebrating Sunday: Palm Sunday edition

Reflection:"On the eve of Passion Sunday, all the statues, crucifixes, and paintings in the abbey were veiled in purple, and for Palm Sunday, palms, real ones, were blessed, the echo of those long-ago hosannas in Jerusalem. Then it was Holy Week and the glory and hope of Easter." [Rumer Godden, In this House of Brede]

"Necessary emphasis should be placed on the 'genius of women,' not only by considering great and famous women of the past or present, but also those ordinary women who reveal the gift of their womanhood by placing themselves at the service of others in their everyday lives. For in giving themselves to others each day women fulfill their deepest vocation." --LETTER OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO WOMEN, 29 June 1995
